Le Faux Miroir ( 1928 )

DIFFERENT EYES

For René Magritte

A John Crawford inspired poem . He told me one night he had lived in New-York ,
at the beginning of the 20th century .

" Da zeigt die Stadt
Dir asphaltglatt
Im Menschenrichter
Millionen Gesichter :
zwei fremde Augen , ein kurzer Blick ,
die Braue , Pupillen , die Lider .
  Was war das ? Vielleicht dein Lebensglück ...
  Vorbei , verweht , nie wieder . "

Kurt Tucholsky ( 1890 - 1935 ) ,
" Augen In Der GrossStadt " ( 1930 )

Walkin' thru the night
Without lookin'
At those different eyes
On lightless landscapes
Reflectin'
Your strangest dreams ,

While your past
Turns slow
Into sad reveries ,

Dark mirror windows

Far away ,

Send you back
Their faces empty ...

Poor passin' people
Minglin' their indifferences ,

Not a smile healin' them ,
Only fleetin' shadows
Into echoes
Of sombre melodies ...

And streets glimmerin'
Under a heavy rain ,
But no cars can undo their chains ,
Because there's no one to drive them ...

It's the City
Where you're going to ,
With no one to really talk to
But your Loneliness ?

You're lost thru that night ,
Under an open sky ,
No one to answer
Your saddest why ...

This hand you held
Before
Was your last link ,
You know ,
The hand you held ,
Your last call ...
